practically destroyed all the crops in that
vicinity. Ground is becoming so dry in
the lowlands that the leaves on the willow
trees are falling off,. Wheat and rye are
80 thin that the dry ground can be seen be-
tween the rows. Tassels are coming out
on early corn stalks, and in most places
stalks are but two feet high.

ical and Surgical Association was heldin Brat
toms Hall at 11.30 A. NJ, on Monday last, DR..
A. P. Campbell in the chair.
The Secretary, DR.. R. Andral Bratton, read
the minutes of the last meeting, and they were

The committee, consisting Of Drs. j. F. Lind
say. A. P. Campbell and R. Andral Bratton,
appointed at the last meeting to draft resolu-
tons in memoriam of DIR. H. G.. Jackson, sub
mitted the following:
Your committee appointed at the last meet
ing of the Society to draft resolutions
orative of the worth Of our late brother Hugh
G.. Jackson, NJ. d., respectfully submit the fol-
lowing:
That in the death of our highly respected
brother, the medical profession, as well as the
community in which he lived, sustain a seri-
Gus loss by the removal of one rarely gifted by
nature for the pursuit Of his chosen profession,
and to which natural ~endowments he was as
siduous by application in study and DEVOTION,
from the date of his graduation, in March, 1850,
to the day he was stricken down by the disease
which terminated his life.
That his moral and exemplary character, and
the unfaltering manner in which he discharged
all the duties devolving upon him, whether in
the walk of the citizen, the soldier, the physl-
clan or the Christian gentleman, are worthy OF
the highest commentator and emulation,
That a page be set apart in The record book of
this Society for transcribing to his memory
these resolutions.
DR.. R. Andral Bratton made brief report on
cases in abdominal surgery, and also rhino-
plastic operation for the treatment and cure OF
catarrh.
Drs. w. e. PRESLEY, W. D. Hope and j. ?.
Kennedy were proposed for membership OF the
Association and unanimously elected.
The meeting then adjourned until the first
Monday of October next.

Florence NJ. Stevens" This additional respon-
sibility, coming on the Nations natal day, is
regarded by the genial contractor as a good
omen, and cheers hin on to renewed activity.
Work on the Fishing Creek trestle is sus-
pended for the present, awaiting the compile
ton of the masonry. On Monday Capt. Lewis
sent his force to Kings Creek, where work
will Immediately be commenced on the trestle
over that stream. This will be the most ex-
tensive trestle between Catawba River and
Blacks. 1t will be 1920 feet in length and
about sc feet in height above the bed of the
creek. It's construction will require about
60O,O 900 feet of timber and six tons Of iron.
Twenty or thirty hands will be put on this
trestle under direction Of Mr.. John A. Hudson,
Capt. Lewis superintendent.
From Engineer S. B. Mosby, in charge of
the Ebenezer residency, we learn that Mr..
Jackson, a sub-contractor under Col. Kirby,
has commenced work on a three mile section
west of Rock Hill, through Ebenezer. All the
right of way through Ebenezer has been Sc
cured except that through the lands of Mr..
Morrison. The line through Ebenezer has also
been improved, and as finally adopted is nearly
straight from Ebenezer to Rock Hill. All the
ground between Rock Hill and Yorkyille is
now occupied by contractors. Mr.. Thomas has
two miles west of Mr.. Adams, connecting with
the work completed by Moore 81 Horne, and
the next between Moore e. Horne and Mr..
Ross, who has the first five miles east of town.,
is under contract with Ferguson & White, wig
are now at work.
TIL locating ofthe entire line between Blacks
and Camden has been finished, Capt. Ramsatr
completing the work last week at the Thorh-
we'll place in Lancaster county.
A correspondent Of the Columbia Registtr
writes: GAS soon as the road is finished tS
Camden the work will be Immediately pushed
in the direction of Sumter, so Camden is GER
tain to have a competing line to Charleston.
Track-laying from Camden northward will
commence as soon as the road-oed is ready
through Mr.. Nettles' place, which, according to
Col. Matson, will be not more than five weeks"

curing it, and they will meetit.
But besides this, there is another and
higher consideration for not converting
these bonds into a county subscription.
Without the proposed Augusta and Char
lotte division, there are five townships
that are not interested in the subscrip-
lions, and with it, granting it should be
constructed through Bullock's Creek and
Bethel, there would be three which are
not concerned in either road, and only
benefited by them indirectly. To the
principle of foisting upon these townships,
without their consent, a portion of a heavy
indebtedness in which neither had a voice
in contracting, we are unalterably and un-
e%quivocally opposed. We do not sanction
the scheme on the question of principle,
even though as a condition the amount
we're reduced four-ffths instead of being
increased nearly one-third.
The best plan and the easiest one for de-
feating this scheme is for the taxpayers to
refuse their signatures to the petition.

PuBLIC MEETING.

A public meeting of citizens of Yorkville,
attended also by a large number from the
country, was held in the Court House at II P.
M. last Monday.
On motion of J. L. Lowry, G. E. Spencer,
Esq, was called to the chair, and A. w. Ingold
requested to act as secretary.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Spencer explained
the objectof the meeting as having been called
by citizens of Yorkville, for the purpose of
correcting an erroneous impression prevailing
with some to the effect that a petition in be-
half of a measure in the interest of the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad, emanated
from the people of the town, or any of the
citizens thereof. He then declared the meet
ing open and ready for business, when
MI. John R.. Ashe presented the following
resolutions:
Whereas, a petition is now circulating in
York county for signatures, praying the Coun-
ty Commissioners to order an election on the
question of converting the different township
subscriptions in aid of the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago Railroad into one general
county subscription, and for other purposes
therein named
And whereas, the opinion prevails in many
parts Of the county that the said petition and
the scheme it proposes originated with citizens
Of Yorkville, and as such opinion is entirely
erroneous and without foundation IN 1act, III
order that we may set ourselves properly on
this question before the people of the county,
be it resolved, ..
/. That so far from originating the said Pc
tition or sympathising with its objects as they
appear on it's face, we here, in public meeting,
deny all knowledge Of the existence of the said
scheme until the appearance OF the said petl-
ton on the streets of the town last Friday, the
1st instant.
9. That we hereby discourage all persons
from signing the said petition for the reasons
above cited and, further, that as to the pro-
posed construction through the county OF the
Georgia and Carolina Midland Railroad, as
one condition upon which the township sub
scriptions should be converted into a county
subscriptions, the amount of these subscrlp-
ton increased from S217 900 to a county sub
scription Of $500 900, is vague, indefinite ana
~undefinable, contrary to all business methods,
calculated to mislead and deceive, giving no
tangible promise of any return for the amount
subscribed, and therefore unworthy OF the sup
port and countenance of the taxpayers.
After the reading of the resolutions, for the
information of those present who had not seen
the petition in question, the Chairman read
the four propositions for route through York
of the proposed Georgia and Carolina Midland
Railroad and the concluding proviso, when
Mr.. J.. L. Lowry moved the adoption OF the
resolutions, and the question was put and car
ried without a dissenting voice. -
The meeting then adjourned.

NOTES.

Work in this immediate vicinity on the Mag
netic Line is progressing with as much rapidlty
as could be expected, considering its heavy
nature. Besides the deep cut progressing in
Mr.. Latta's field, another of equal extent has
been commenced a short distance west on the
land of Mr.. J. w. P. Hope. Work in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the depot site is about
finished up. Much of the dirt taken up here
was "wasted' between the two hills east OF the
NJ. i. Church, bringing them up to nearly a
level. The old matchmaking on this part of
the street was taken up, under direction of the
Town Council, and when the railroad contract
ors finish dumping dirt, it will be replaced.
MI. w. E. Gorton was the happy recipient of
the following telegram last Monday afternoon,
dated Leroy Station, N. Y, July 4th.-"W. e.

LETTER FROM SHELTON.

Messrs. Editors: We heartily en-
dorsc the action Of your citizens in
holding public meeting in regard to
enforcing tho provisions Of the inter
State Railroad law. Let the law be
tho law. We think the Democratic
clubs over the county should meet
and take action; let the people speak
out. We SEQ frequent notices III your
valuable paper concerning the build
ing Of cotton factory at Winnsboro.
This can be done and it should be
inaugurated at once, Fairfield can
build $4,000 cotton factory easily.
What would bo it's advantage is hard
to tell; increase of population, en-
value of truck farms, etc. If this
show determination, more Northern
capital would come to it than wo
want. Go to work ut it and be sure
to let Fairfield hold on to stock enough
to control it. We think there arc
farmers in every township that would
take stock. 1t will pay. Railroads
will not pay our people, but will run
over them.
Our faamers are up and doing.
Corn and cotton looks fine. Very
little commercial fertilizer, in use in
the Corner. The outlook for crop
is very hattering. Seasons propitious.
Health of this section improving.
Our young friend, Mr.. e. r. Harris,
is in charge of the Cool Branch school,
and is giving full satisfaction. The
school is we'll attended. l..

Il PLEA FOR AN UNI'ORTUNATE.

Messrs. Editors: In a short commu-
:::caat:o: ;='!::cct: =!.:::cct:: appeared i: the iss.e
before the last, all allusion was made
to the fact that some kind friends had
employed and were paying laborer
to perform the work on the farm Of a
sick and crippled Confederate soldier.
At the time only intended to state a
fact without any thought Of appealing
for or receiving any help for my un-
fortunate friend. The return mail
brought me letter from Prof r.
Means Davis, of the South Carolina
College, containing timely and val
uable contribution, two dollars ster-
ling, II would like to contribute a
mite towards hiring hand to help
that sick old Confederate soldier"
My friend has had many misfortunee
Early in the year he lost his only work
animal. A nevcr-failing friend pro-
vided him with another, aud since my
communication this one also has died.
This misfortune is a fresh and strong
appeal to my own sympathy, and
desire now to be of use to my friend
in procuring another. don't think
that have ever known q man who
attempted to support family by field
labor under such disadvantages. He
walks OH heavy wooden leg. I have
seen him ploughing on steep, rugged
hillsides, and on cloddy, rough creek
bottoms. Few, indeed, are the mon
who would swing around rocks,
stumps and clods wooden leg, not
simply from day to day, but from
year to year. Most mon would take
some nigh cut-make their wives do
it or run for office. He knows moth
ing Of my disposition to get him help,
as have not seen him to consult him.
His assistance from his family is not
much in the way Of work--has three
small children to raise-is in every
way worthy of help.
| sincerely trust that this public use
of q private communication will not
be offensive to Prof. Davis, as only
wish to hold up his kind act as an
example to stimulate others to help
an unfortunate man.
Permit mo to say further that am
encouraged to this because I sincerely
| think that misfortunes have been un-
equally distributed. In this imme-
diate section fow years ago there
passed over cyclone which swept
away everything. since then, along its
track, the people have suffered greatly
from sickness and death. AS they
plant mostly on rivers, etc., thoy lost
their corn crop last year, and they are
now under heavy strain.
| hope, Messrs. Editors, that you
will receive and forward mo anv holm
that kind hearts may be inclined ia
give. 1t shall DO acknowledged. A
little from many would 80 much glad
den the heart Of brave, true man,
whose life has been made at least a
burden, by patriotic endesvor to
defend his country. j. y. MAHoN.
